NUMBER FIVE BANK STREET

New York City October 20, 1922

My dear Ruth:

You are a nice girl to write and

tell me that you enjoyed the book. People seem either to like it very much or to feel a violent antipathy for it, and it has stirred up no end of controversy. But I agree with you-I like the boy! I remember you very well indeed, and so does Miss Lewis, and we both send you our very best regards and we hope to meet you in that lovely country again. Faithfully Yours Willa Cather
